Broadlink Wifi Smart Home Hub RM MINI 3 IR Automation Learning Universal Remote Control Compatible with Alexa

I bought a Hornbill smart lock on sale in October. Unfortunately I didn't notice when I purchased it that you need a gateway for voice control. The Hornbill documents do not recommend a specific gateway so I chose this one. It works great! Connected to my wifi quickly, synced up with the smartlife app and Alexa and now I can voice control my lock.

Setting up device in the app wasn't super smooth, but that is expected with these sort of devices (also, required me to reset the device to connect to my wifi), but besides that, works exactly as you would like it to! This allows me to make my heater "smart", so I can turn it off/on and increase/decrease temperature without having to be at home (i.e., save on my electricity bill)! And you can use this device to remote control multiple things at once, so if you have lots of remote controlled devices, it's super worth it to make devices smart! Alexa integration is ok, can power off/on easily but the temp up/down is a bit quirky... though I won't be using it via alexa, so I don't care. Also, it has a micro-usb port; not sure why in this day and age micro-usb are used, rather than usb-c... it comes with a cord though, but usb-c would be much better.

Very fast delivery from the merchant. In terms of the product, i am enjoying it everyday.

Very useful product, RF & IR , perfect working both frequencies

Although It's stops working sometime but work for me i use this device to operate my tv , ac with IR blaster feature and my electronic gate lock by RF blaster feature . Rf feature does not support Alexa echo device . Initially I had some difficulty in setting it up.But later it started working fine.
